I Am Working Toward These Certifications At This Time
I Instructed High Angle Rescue Classes for NCDOI 1976-1981 @ Stone Mountain in Allegheny County as a National Park Ranger in 1976-1977 and as a consultant in 1978-1981. As a Park Ranger I attended the National Park Service 21 day High Angle Rescue School in Yosemite National Park in 1976 and then a week long Search and Rescue class at Cedar Breaks National Monument. The next year I was selected to attend the newly created Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) at Glynco Naval Air Station near Brunswick, Georgia. Jekyll Island was where much of the National Park Service Law Enforcement Training was accomplished.
